School Absence Emailing
In this project, I created an ergonomic web app to send standardised music lesson absence emails to teachers in my school. Users registered an email with the service and could then fill out a form to send an email to the relevant teacher. I felt that client side rendering like with React.js added too significant an overhead for this project so opted for server-side rendering instead with express.js. However, I did use EJS to add dynamic functionality to the site and where appropriate, used AJAX requests to prevent a forced refresh. MongoDB was used to store teacher and session information. I also used electron.js to create a desktop app port of the website.
User Features:
- Register an email with the service
- Send an email to a teacher
- Administrate the service from the webapp if authorised
- Use a desktop variant
Technical Features:
- Express.js
- EJS
- MongoDB
- Electron.js
- Encryption and hashing
